2008 Transformation Contest

On Friday night, I caught a Denver Nuggets basketball game. Good company, good entertainment and good times. It had been awhile since I experienced the live energy of a game. When I returned home I wasn’t quite ready for bed so I hopped online to check my email and amongst the spam of how I can make my "schlong longer" or "please my woman better". You know the usual crap that clogs up our email. Amongst these emails and a few legitimate ones I see an email from a girl I used to date. She was big into fitness and very attractive. Things ended when I got to know her for what she really was and the more I learned the uglier she got. Hence the reason why we were no longer seeing each other. A physical relationship can only take you so far.

So anyways, I open the email and it’s a forwarded email about presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The title read "Obama to doom the United States" and she adds a comment of, "Im scared for the United States!!"

As you can imagine, The email was full of such rubbish I couldn’t believe it. One line said, "The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the ighest level - through the President of the United States,one of their own!!!!"

The email was much longer but it straight up pissed me off. Keep in mind, this is coming from a girl who didn’t know who Jimmy Carter was. One who never wanted to discuss politics or anything of any substance. She’s 28 and I’m sorry but if you don’t know who Jimmy Carter is you need to study US history again. So, I respond with "That’s crap. You don’t even follow politics and sending this poop."

Her response, "Knowing we have a muslim running to be president is problem enough.  So I don’t wanna hear it.  You always have to stick up for everyone in your open minded ways"

We went back and forth a couple times until she wrote the most horrific response I’ve ever seen from someone. I am disturbed just copying and pasting it. It makes me sick. Warning this is everything that is wrong with America today, moronic, narrow-minded views and such racist language. Her response to me telling her to check her facts before sending out such garbage, "I have, and I don’t believe it. Of course he and all his people, media etc is going to deny it and say otherwise. There’s no way he would win if people knew who he really was. Obama Bin Laden baby. hahahaha…. Damn Muslim. He is LITERALLY a sand ******. hahahaha"

SERIOUSLY WTF IS THAT?! I am embarrassed to say I know this person much less any type of relationship with someone who could actually write that.

Bono says it best at the beginning of this U2 song. "God does not hate. This is a song about people who recreate God in their own image, tiny, pathetic you knwo the kind of people I’m talking about." Yes Bono, I know EXACTLY the kind of people you are talking about.

The energy this man is able to create in such a positive way is everything that is right in the world. I’ve wasted enough of my energy on this foul woman and will not communicate with her in any fashion. I urge everyone to show some love for others and themselves.

On a happier note, this is one song I jam to in the gym and gets me pumped while lifting. As it also applies to the story above as it’s a reminder to elevate myself from the negativity and narrow-mindedness that exists in the world today.
